Abstract
Three animals were studied at San Diego Zoo, originating from Tamaulipas, Mexico. The male offspring (depicted) and mother had 50 chromosomes, the dam had 49 elements as shown above. One small acrocentric is missing and presumed to be translocated to 4q. Fibroblast cultures were used, stock is frozen. ASG bands are shown. One previous study of a single animal from the Philadelphia Zoo with unknown origin was found to have 68 chromosomes. As the specimens studied by us, that karyotype possessed two very small pairs of acrocentrics.
